XMPP Adapter
Properties Configuration Settings
The XMPP Adapter adds instant messaging functionality to your BizTalk Server.
Remarks
eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is a highly extensible instant message service based on XML packets. The XMPP Adapter adds the capability to leverage this protocol within your BizTalk Server to send instant messages to any XMPP client within your XMPP service's network.
XMPP Receive Adapter
The XMPP Receive Adapter implements a lightweight XMPP instant messaging client. At a minimum, you must supply an IMServer, IMPort for the connection.
Once configured the adapter will connect to the SMPP server on the first PollingInterval and remain connected to receive incoming messages. It will remain connected until the adapter is shut down.
XMPP Send Adapter
The XMPP Send Adapter implements a lightweight XMPP instant messaging client. At a minimum, you must supply an IMServer, IMPort for the connection and a ToJID for the intended recipient of the message.
By default, the adapter will attempt to send the contents of the outbound BizTalk Server message as the instant message body. This can be overridden by setting a static message in the send port's MessageText property at design-time. To set a dynamic message, you can write to the same property in the message context at runtime.
The adapter also supports sending HTML entities with the message via the MessageHTML property. The default behavior of sending the BizTalk Server message contents as a simple text message can also be overridden via the TreatMessageAsHTML property. Also, when sending to clients that may not support reading HTML entities, ParseHTML can be set to cause the adapter to parse an HTML entity into the simple text body of the instant message.
The XMPP Send Adapter has support for SSL transport layer security. This may be enabled by setting SSLStartMode, SSLCert and SSLAcceptServerCert to appropriate values.
Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
